Wednesday night I had a fun but long band practice. When I got home I was heading upstairs with my load out which is 2 guitars in one bag, my Kemper amp in another etc. Just for fun I decided to trip going upstairs and smash my knee on hard wood. The only good thing was that there was no audience.
Next morning I was limping like a gimp on my way to get a double banger flu and covid shot. Opted out of a ride.
Yesterday the weather was spectacular. Was pushing 20C and gorgeous out. Thing is I was a tired, achy in the joints mess and still with a hurtin' knee.
I admonished myself into getting on the bike anyway. Try to shake it off. Headed down to River road and into the Greenway near Alex Fraser Bridge.
So nice and warm out. Likely the last gasp of good temps...
On the way, there were a few long patches of newly laid VERY large gravel laid down. These rocks were up to maybe 2" and NOT tamped down. Even on my bike this was extremely sketchy as the rocks were very loose. That was when I fully realized how much my joints/muscles were affected by both of those shots. Talk about trepidation and unease...
Pressed on until I saw this sign... again...
Yeah, well last time they weren't kidding, so I didn't feel like challenging it again today. Turned around.
Seems like all my choices are pretty much limited. I took the sign as a "sign"...
Decided to take a different route home and convalesce further...
